Zaslaŭje
Заслаўе
Half a day from Minsk: see the Renaissance church and three small museums, then return. Not a base.
Zaslaŭje is a 20-minute train ride from Minsk, with a 16th-century Protestant church, a handful of niche museums and a sleepy town feel. Most visitors come for a half-day trip; one night is enough only if you want to explore the museums slowly.
